I'm sorry, I'm a lazy programmer, and when I can ask
The user something and I can pose the question myself...

I'm not gonna load an extra module

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Term::ReadKey;

my %Prompts=(
        'Step 1: Enter old password: '             => 'oldpass',
        'Step 2: Enter old enable password: '      => 'oldenable',
        'Step 3: Enter new password: '             => 'newpass',
        'Step 4: Confirm new password: '           => 'passconf',
        'Step 5: Enter new enable password : '     => 'newenable',
        'Step 6: Confirm new enable password: '    => 'enableconf');
my $Key;
my %Passwd;
foreach my $Prompt (sort keys %Prompts)
{
 print "$Prompt";
 ReadMode('noecho');
 chomp($Passwd{$Prompt} = <STDIN>);
 ReadMode(0);
};

I hope this wont cost me XP... ;))

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
